Relocations
So I had a little spare time on a rainy Saturday morning. What better to do than relocate a bunch of nest boxes! The impetus: (a) retire a squirrel-damaged box and (b) install a new Flying Squirrel box. (a) seemed a good location, so I moved a venerable old dud there to see what happens. (b) needed to be a bit farther away from the house. The slot (b) took was also held by an underperformer -- see above -- and that "(c) moved to a former Bird Bottle location. That left "bluebird box" (d) which I moved to an entirely untested spot. The score: one nest box removed, three relocated, and six left alone--for this year. I wonder if anything will come up in the second brood wave... can't wait!
